Abstract: The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) is designed to search for neutrinoless double beta decay of 130Te with an array of 988 TeO2Â bolometers operating at temperatures around 10 mK. The experiment is currently being commissioned in Hall A of Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, Italy. The goal of CUORE is to reach a 90% C.L. exclusion sensitivity on the 130Te decay half-life of 9 Ã 1025 years after 5Â years of data taking. The main issue to be addressed to accomplish this aim is the rate of background events in the region of interest, which must not be higher than 10- 2Â counts/keV/kg/year. We developed a detailed Monte Carlo simulation, based on results from a campaign of material screening, radioassays, and bolometric measurements, to evaluate the expected background. This was used over the years to guide the construction strategies of the experiment and we use it here to project a background model for CUORE. In this paper we report the results of our study and our expectations for the background rate in the energy region where the peak signature of neutrinoless double beta decay of 130Te is expected.

Abstract: We describe in detail the methods used to obtain the lower bound on the lifetime of neutrinoless double-beta (0νββ) decay in Te130 and the associated limit on the effective Majorana mass of the neutrino using the CUORE-0 detector. CUORE-0 is a bolometric detector array located at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso that was designed to validate the background reduction techniques developed for CUORE, a next-generation experiment scheduled to come online in 2016. CUORE-0 is also a competitive 0νββ decay search in its own right and functions as a platform to further develop the analysis tools and procedures to be used in CUORE. These include data collection, event selection and processing, as well as an evaluation of signal efficiency. In particular, we describe the amplitude evaluation, thermal gain stabilization, energy calibration methods, and the analysis event selection used to create our final 0νββ search spectrum. We define our high level analysis procedures, with emphasis on the new insights gained and challenges encountered. We outline in detail our fitting methods near the hypothesized 0νββ decay peak and catalog the main sources of systematic uncertainty. Finally, we derive the 0νββ decay half-life limits previously reported for CUORE-0, T1/20ν>2.7×1024yr, and in combination with the Cuoricino limit, T1/20ν>4.0×1024yr.

Abstract: Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay (0 nu beta beta) is a rare nuclear transition that if it occurs at all it will be very important for the exploration of the inverted hierarchy region of the neutrino mass pattern. The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) is an experiment that aims to search for such a transition in 130 Te together with other rare processes. In the present paper we will describe the basic features of CUORE Experiment, the status of the experiment as well as the latest results obtained from CUORE-0 detector, a smaller scale experiment constructed to test and demonstrate the expected performances of CUORE.

CUORE-0, the first tower assembled according to the CUORE procedures, was built and commissioned at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, and took data from March 2013 to March 2015. In this paper we describe the design, construction and operation of the CUORE-0 experiment, with an emphasis on the improvements made over a predecessor experiment, Cuoricino. In particular, we demonstrate with CUORE-0 data that the design goals of CUORE are within reach.

Abstract: The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) is an upcoming experiment designed to search for the neutrinoless double-beta decays. Observation of the process would unambiguously establish that neutrinos are Majorana particles and provide information on their absolute mass scale hierarchy. CUORE is now under construction and will consist of an array of 988 TeO2crystal bolometers operated at 10 mK, but the first tower (CUORE-0) is already taking data. The experimental techniques used will be presented as well as the preliminary CUORE-0 results. The current status of the full-mass experiment and its expected sensitivity will then be discussed.

Abstract: The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) is a ton-scale experiment made of TeO2 bolometers that will probe the neutrinoless double beta decay of 130Te. Excellent energy resolution, low threshold and low background make CUORE sensitive to nuclear recoils, allowing a search for dark matter interactions. With a total mass of 741 kg of TeO2, CUORE can search for an annual modulation of the counting rate at low energies. We present data obtained with CUORE-like detectors and the prospects for a dark matter search in CUORE-0, a 40-kg prototype, and CUORE.

Abstract: We report the results of a search for axions from the 14.4 keV M1 transition from Fe-57 in the core of the sun using the axio-electric effect in TeO2 bolometers. The detectors are 5x5x5 cm3 crystals operated at about 10 mK in a facility used to test bolometers for the CUORE experiment at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in Italy. An analysis of 43.65 kg d of data was made using a newly developed low energy trigger which was optimized to reduce the detectors energy threshold. An upper limit of 0.63 c kg-1 d-1 was established at 95% C.L.. From this value, a lower bound at 95% C.L. was placed on the Peccei-Quinn energy scale of fa >= 0.76 10**6 GeV for a value of S=0.55 for the flavor-singlet axial vector matrix element. Bounds are given for the interval 0.15 < S < 0.55., 14 pages, 6 figures, submitted to JCAP

Abstract: Neutrinoless double beta decay (Formula presented.) is one of the most sensitive probes for physics beyond the Standard Model, providing unique information on the nature of neutrinos. In this paper we review the status and outlook for bolometric (Formula presented.) decay searches. We summarize recent advances in background suppression demonstrated using bolometers with simultaneous readout of heat and light signals. We simulate several configurations of a future CUORE-like bolometer array which would utilize these improvements and present the sensitivity reach of a hypothetical next-generation bolometric (Formula presented.) experiment. We demonstrate that a bolometric experiment with the isotope mass of about 1 ton is capable of reaching the sensitivity to the effective Majorana neutrino mass (Formula presented.) of order 10–20 meV, thus completely exploring the so-called inverted neutrino mass hierarchy region. We highlight the main challenges and identify priorities for an R&D program addressing them.

Abstract: The CUORE (Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events) experiment will search for neutrinoless double beta decay in 130 Te. Observation of the process would unambiguously establish that neutrinos are Majorana particles as well as provide information about the absolute neutrino mass scale and mass hierarchy.The CUORE setup will consist of an array of 988 tellurium dioxide crystals (containing 206 kg of 130 Te in total), operated as bolometers at a temperature of ∼ 10 mK. The experiment is now under construction at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Italy. As a first step towards CUORE, a tower (CUORE-0) has been assembled and is taking data. Here a detailed description of the CUORE-0 tower and its performance is reported. The status of the CUORE experiment and its expected sensitivity will then be discussed.

Abstract: We report the results of a search for axions from the 14.4 keV M1 transition from 57 Fe in the core of the sun using the axio-electric effect in TeO 2 bolometers. The detectors are 5 × 5 × 5 cm 3 crystals operated at about 10 mK in a facility used to test bolometers for the CUORE experiment at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in Italy. An analysis of 43.65 kg⋅d of data was made using a newly developed low energy trigger which was optimized to reduce the energy threshold of the detector. An upper limit of 0.58 c⋅kg −1 ⋅d −1 is established at 95% C.L., which translates into lower bounds f A ≥ 3.12 × 10 5 GeV 95% C.L. (DFSZ model) and f A ≥ 2.41 × 10 4 GeV 95% C.L. (KSVZ model) on the Peccei-Quinn symmetry-breaking scale, for a value of S = 0.5 of the flavor-singlet axial vector matrix element. These bounds can be expressed in terms of axion masses as m A ≤ 19.2 eV and m A ≤ 250 eV at 95% C.L. in the DFSZ and KSVZ models respectively. Bounds are given also for the interval 0.35 ≤ S ≤ 0.55.

Abstract: In this article we describe the background challenges for the CUORE experiment posed by surface contamination of inert detector materials such as copper, and present three techniques explored to mitigate these backgrounds. Using data from a dedicated test apparatus constructed to validate and compare these techniques we demonstrate that copper surface contamination levels better than 10 ^-7 - 10^-8 Bq/cm2 are achieved for U-238 and Th-232. If these levels are reproduced in the final CUORE apparatus the projected 90%C.L. upper limit on the number of background counts in the region of interest is 0.02–0.03 counts/keV/kg/y depending on the adopted mitigation technique

Abstract: We collected 19.4 days of data from four 750 g TeO2 bolometers, and in three of them we were able to set the energy threshold around 3 keV using a new analysis technique. We found a background rate ranging from 25 cpd/keV/kg at 3 keV to 2 cpd/keV/kg at 25 keV, and a peak at 4.7 keV. The origin of this peak is presently unknown, but its presence is confirmed by a reanalysis of 62.7 kg·days of data from the finished CUORICINO experiment. Finally, we report the expected sensitivities of the CUORE-0 (52 bolometers) and CUORE (988 bolometers) experiments to a WIMP annual modulation signal. © 2013 IOP Publishing Ltd and Sissa Medialab srl.

Subjects: bolometer, double beta decay, gamma-spectroscopy, low temperature, alpha spectroscopy, dark matter
Abstract: High-Z low-temperature calorimeters are developed by an Italian collaboration (Milano-Como-Gran Sasso Underground Laboratories) in order to search for rare nuclear events and Dark Matter massive candidates. They exhibit an excellent energy resolution, close to that of Ge-diodes, but a much higher efficiency. Different high-Z materials were initially employed. A many-years optimisation work on tellurium oxide (TeO2) lead to impressive results: devices with total masses around 750 g present FWHM energy resolutions on gamma-ray peaks ranging from 1 KeV (close to the 5 KeV energy threshold) to 2.6 KeV at 2615 KeV (Tl-208 gamma line). A 3.2 KeV FWHM energy resolution was obtained at 5.4 MeV (Po-210 alpha line), which is by far the best one ever achieved with any alpha detector. These devices, operated at about 10 mK, consist of a TeO2 single crystal thermally coupled to a 50 mg Neutron Transmutation Doped (NTD) Ge crystal working as a temperature sensor. Special care was devoted to methods for response linearization and temporal stabilisation. Devices based on the same principle and specifically optimised could find applications in several fields like gamma-ray astrophysics, nuclear physics searches, environmental monitoring and radiation metrology.

Subjects: Double-Beta Decay, TE-130, bolometers
Abstract: Thanks to very high energy resolutions, low energy thresholds and very high sensitivity to nuclear recoils, cryogenic thermal detectors my play an important role in study and search dark matter particles of the universe. Milano group works with this type of detectors since many years and, at presents, operates the bigger cryogenic thermal detector with a total mass of 6.8 kg of TeO2 crystals segmented in 20 active channels. This detector is in operation since 1998 and has realized to search for double beta decay of Te-130. As a by product of this measurement also dark matter study will be conducted and, especially in the last year, a strong effort was made to further reduce threshold and spurious background in low energy region. The preliminary data on WIMPs searches with this detector is here reported. The improvement of this experiment will be the realization of the CUORICINO detector. Some preliminary tests on this new detector will be presented and briefly discussed.

Abstract: The main goal of the CUORE experiment is to search for the neutrinoless double beta decay of 130Te. As it is a rare nuclear decay, the sensitivity of the experiment strongly depends on the background level in the transition energy region. In this paper we describe the R&D work performed to develop an active method for the reduction of radioactive background in CUORE. The idea is to reject events originated by surface contamination in large mass bolometric detectors by using bolometers sensitive to surface events. Results obtained with the first prototypes and tests made with large mass surface sensitive bolometers will be reported

Abstract: Cuoricino is a taking data bolometric experiment searching for neutrinoless double beta decay (0vDBD) of 130Te. The detector consists of an array of large cubic Te02 crystal bolometers. Cuoricino works at about 10 mK in the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory. Good energy resolutions were obtained (2.1 keV at 911 keV and 3.9 keV at 2615 keV at best). The counting rate in the region of 0vDBD is 0.18±0.02 c/keV/kg/y. The limit for the 0vDBD half lifetime is 2.0 ± 1024 years at the 90% of C.L. This results correspond to a limit for the effective neutrino mass between 0.2 and 1.0 eV, depending on the nuclear matrix elements used. A large international collaboration is working on CUORE project, a future experiment with a mass of 741 kg of TeO2 crystal bolometers. The experiment aims to probe the neutrino absolute mass down to 50 meV and to understand if the inverted hierarchy holds in the neutrino mass pattern.

Abstract: After an introduction on the various experimental techniques to be adopted in searches for double beta decay, the new approach based on the use of cryogenic low temperature detectors is described. The present results are reported on the limit for neutrinoless double beta decay of 130Te obtained with the large bolometric detector CUORICINO. This setup consists of 44 cubic crystals of natural TeO2 with 5 cm sides and 18 crystals of 3×3×6 cm3. Four of these latter crystals are made with isotopically enriched materials: two in 128Te and two others in 130Te. With a sensitive mass of 40.7 kg, this array is by far the most massive running cryogenic detector. The array is operated at a temperature of ∼10 mK in a dilution refrigerator under a heavy shield in the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory at a depth of about 3500 m.w.e. The counting rate in the region of neutrinoless double beta decay is 0.18±0.02 counts keV -1 kg-1 y-1, among the lowest in this type of experiment. No evidence for neutrinoless double beta decay is found. The corresponding lower limit for the lifetime of this process is 2×1024 years at 90% C.L. The resultant upper limit on the effective neutrino mass ranges between 0.2 and 1.0 eV, depending on the theoretically calculated nuclear matrix elements. This constraint is the most restrictive one, except for those obtained with Ge diodes, and is comparable to them. The second part of this report is devoted to the present status of the construction of the larger experiment CUORE (Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events) formed from 988 bolometers with a cubic TeO2 absorber of size 5×5×5 cm3, with a total mass of ∼750 kg. We present technical details of the CUORE setup as well as of its location and our efforts to reduce radioactive backgrounds. © 2006.

Abstract: We report the complete GNO solar neutrino results for the measuring periods GNO III, GNO II, and GNO I. The result for GNO III (last 15 solar runs) is [54.3 + 9.9 - 9.3 (stat.)+- 2.3 (syst.)] SNU (1 sigma) or [54.3 + 10.2 - 9.6 (incl. syst.)] SNU (1 sigma) with errors combined. The GNO experiment is now terminated after altogether 58 solar exposure runs that were performed between May 20, 1998 and April 9, 2003. The combined result for GNO (I+II+III) is [62.9 + 5.5 - 5.3 (stat.) +- 2.5 (syst.)] SNU (1 sigma) or [62.9 + 6.0 - 5.9] SNU (1 sigma) with errors combined in quadrature. Overall, gallium based solar observations at LNGS (first in GALLEX, later in GNO) lasted from May 14, 1991 through April 9, 2003. The joint result from 123 runs in GNO and GALLEX is [69.3 +- 5.5 (incl. syst.)] SNU (1 sigma). The distribution of the individual run results is consistent with the hypothesis of a neutrino flux that is constant in time. Implications from the data in particle- and astrophysics are reiterated.

Abstract: CUORE is a proposed tightly packed array of 1000 TeO2 bolometers, each being a cube 5 cm on a side with a mass of 760 g. The array consists of 25 vertical towers, arranged in a square of 5 towers×5 towers, each containing 10 layers of four crystals. The design of the detector is optimized for ultralow-background searches: for neutrinoless double-beta decay of 130Te (33.8% abundance), cold dark matter, solar axions, and rare nuclear decays. A preliminary experiment involving 20 crystals 3×3×6 cm3 of 340 g has been completed, and a single CUORE tower is being constructed as a smaller-scale experiment called CUORICINO. The expected performance and sensitivity, based on Monte Carlo simulations and extrapolations of present results, are reported. © 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract: Improvements in cryogenic thermal detector performances have triggered new generation experiments based on this devices. MiBeta detector had shown, during the last five years, the potential of a large mass cryogenic detector for long running time, good energy resolution, low energy threshold and low radioactive background experiment. Starting from this point a new very large cryogenic detector was proposed: CUORE (Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events). CUORE will be a segmented detector made with 1000 crystals of TeO2 of 5×5×5 cm3, for a total detector mass around 760 kg. Thanks to the high granularity a considerable improvement in background rejection can be reached using coincidence analysis between crystals. The main goal of CUORE will be the search of neutrinoless double beta decay of 130Te but also other studies are possible; in particular dark matter and solar axion searches. To prove the feasibility of CUORE a pilot experiment named CUORICINO was proposed and also founded. The estimated sensitivities of CUORICDMO and CUORE for WIMPs searches is here reported.

Abstract: CUORE is a proposed tightly packed array of 1000 TeO2 bolometers, each being a cube 5 cm on a side with a mass of 750 g. The array consists of 25 vertical towers, arranged in a square of 5 towers by 5 towers, each containing ten layers of four crystals. The design of the detector is optimized for ultralow-background searches for neutrinoless double beta decay of Te-130 (33.8% abundance), cold dark matter, solar axions, and rare nuclear decays. A preliminary experiment involving 20 crystals of various sizes (MIBETA) has been completed, and a single CUORE tower is being constructed as a smaller scale experiment called CUORICINO. The expected performance and sensitivity, based on Monte Carlo simulations and extrapolations of present results, are reported.

Abstract: Electron capture of 123Te from the K shell has been investigated in a new underground search with an array of 340-g TeO2 thermal detectors. We find that some previous indication of this decay could be attributed to electron capture (EC) of 121Te resulting from neutron activation of natural tellurium. There is therefore so far no evidence for EC of 123Te from the K shell with a 90% C.L. lower limit t1/2k > 5 × 1019 years on the half lifetime. Taking into account the predicted K EC branching ratio, the corresponding lower limit on the 123Te EC half lifetime is t1/2 > 9.2 × 1016, which can be theoretically interpreted only on the basis of a strong suppression of the nuclear matrix elements. A complementary analysis based on the expected fraction of EC accompanied by internal bremsstrahlung is discussed.

Abstract: Neutrino physics represents today a hot topic in elementary particle physics, due to the observations of flavour oscillations both in the atmospheric and in the solar sector. This proves the existence of finite neutrino masses. In order to fix their absolute values, sensitive experiments on Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay (a rare nuclear process) must be carried on. The experiment here described, named Cryogenic's Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE), can extend the neutrino mass sensitivity down to 30 meV. CUORE will consist of a large, closely packed, high-granularity array of 1000 tellurite (TeO2) IOW-temperature calorimeters, operated at 10 mK and with a total mass of 800 kg. The final structure of the detector and the preliminary tests are presented and discussed

Abstract: We present the final results on neutrinoless Double Beta Decay (DBD) of Te-130 obtained with an array of 20 cryogenic detectors. The Mi-Beta Experiment is operating since 3 years and was upgraded in March 2001. The background in the DBD energy region was reduced thanks to a new Roman lead shield framed inside the dilution unit and a neutron shield mounted outside the cryostat. We also improved the energy threshold using a cold electronic stage inside the cryostat. The new set-tip represents also a good test for the CUORICINO Experiment. CUORICINO will start by the beginning of 2002 and will consist of 56 Tellurium Oxide Crystal with an overall bolometric mass of 42 kg.

Abstract: A Double Beta Decay experiment performed by the Milano group at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (Mi DBD experiment) consists of 20 TeO2 crystals operated as bolometers at T similar or equal to 10 mK. An 89-day low-threshold background spectrum, collected with two 340 g bolometers, was selected and analyzed to search for a possible WIMP signal. The exclusion plot in a WIMP mass - cross section plane was evaluated, assuming WIMP-nucleus spin-independent interaction. WIMP-nucleon cross sections larger than 10(-4) pb are excluded between 30 and 100 GeV WIMP masses. The planned expansions of the present experiment, named CUORICINO and CUORE, are presented in terms of sensitivity to WIMP search, considering also the seasonal modulation approach, made possible by the large masses of the future arrays (40 kg for CUORICINO and 760 kg for CUORE).

Abstract: The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) will be a large-scale, multi-purpose observatory that is planned for construction in the Gran Sasso underground laboratory in Italy. Its primary focus will be on a search for the neutrinoless double-beta decay of 130Te. The source/detector will be composed of one thousand 5-cm×5-cm×5-cm single crystals of TeO2 all housed in a common dilution refrigerator. Attached to each crystal will be one or more neutron-transmutation-doped (NTD) germanium thermistors that will measure the small temperature rise produced in a crystal when radiation is absorbed. The high natural isotopic abundance of 130Te (33.8%) makes the use of isotopically enriched material unnecessary. In addition, the high Q-value for the double-beta decay of 130Te means that the peak in the summed electron energy spectrum expected from the neutrinoless mode will occur in an energy region of very little natural background. Once constructed, CUORE can also be used in searches for dark matter, solar axions, and other rare decay processes in nuclear physics.

Abstract: During a Double Beta Decay experiment performed at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, a 274 hours low-threshold background spectra was collected with a 340 g TeO2 detector. The MIBETA experiment consists of 20 Tellurium oxide crystals working as bolometers at T = 10 mK in a dilution refrigerator. We present here the analysis carried out on a single detector to search for possible WIMP signal. The values of parameters which are essential in the search for WIMP's, like energy resolution (similar to 2 keV), energy threshold (10 keV) and nuclear quenching factor (similar or equal to 1) have been experimentally determined and are discussed in detail. The exclusion plot of the spin-independent cross section of WIMP's on the nuclei is reported.

Abstract: Massive low temperature particle detectors and their possible impacts on searches for neutrinoless double beta decay (0v-DBD) are presented and discussed. In particular, the experimental work of the Milano group is described. Special relevance is given to the present status of the search for ov-DBD of Te-130 and to the possible expansion of this experiment in the near future. The most recent results obtained by the Milano-Gran Sasso collaboration with a 20 bolometer array are presented. On the basis of these results, the construction of a 42 kg array consisting of 56 TeO2 bolometers (CUORICINO project), to extend the sensitivity of the present experiment, has been proposed. CUORICINO should represent also a feasibility test for a large array of 1000 bolometers (CUORE project) aiming at the search for neutrinoless Double Beta Decay, Cold Dark Matter and Solar Axions with extremely high sensitivity

Abstract: Since many years the Milano Gran Sasso collaboration is developing large mass calorimeters for Double Beta Decay and Dark Matter searches, employing TeO2 crystals as absorber elements. Recently, we have focused our attention on the improvement of the detector resolution: an efficient dumping suspension and the implementation of a new cold electronics device, have strongly suppressed the main sources of noise. The increase in SIN ratio has been of almost an order of magnitude and the resolution achieved is competitive with that of Ge diodes for gamma -rays detection, while a FWHM of 3.2 +/-0.3 keV has been obtained for 5.4 MeV alpha particles, the best result with any kind of detector.
